Dire, but no worse than the other 2 forwards tonight. One of whom cost 3 times as much, the other expected to be more than double. At least he has shown he can, on occasion, come up with a good finish. Something we lack from our forwards, Raul excluded, of course.
For the price, 12 million-ish, an acceptable squad player. Strikes me as a far better deal that double that for Trincao who looks even less suited for the Premier league, not even a player you want available as backup.
I'd like to see us try 2 up front more, playing closer together, similar to how Raul and Jota were. This 3 forwards, especially with the ultra-lightweight, unproductive showboaters we have, feels past it's sell by date - unless we can get Neto up to peak fast.
